Explaining the basics of scratch like how to create an account, and also how to make a simple project that involves allowing the player to control the Scratch cat mascot.

Covering the ask and answer blocks and a little bit of the if block on Scratch. We made a parrot that can interact with the player, repeat what you say, and also answer questions! The possibilities are limitless.

Continuing to work on the money-click minigame with new features. We expanded the game by adding upgrades such as 2x money per click and various other visual and audio effects.

Enhancing the basic game from part 1 by adding moving AI zombies that follows the player around. When a zombie is shot, it dies and a new zombie spawns in another random location on the map!

Learning about functions and lists by making a classic Tic Tac Toe game. Two players place their pieces on the board until one wins by getting three in a row! Lists help maintain the board and functions detect 3-in-a-rows.

Making a simple scrolling background, also called Scroll-X in the Scratch Community. This trick creates the illusion that the player is moving forward in space, making platformer/parkour games much more engaging.

Creating a turkey hunting game for a special Thanksgiving episode. Finished the spawning system and turkey animations for the game. Players shoot at fleeing turkeys and try to get as many points as possible.

Utilizing lists, variables, clones, and math to program snake physics in Scratch. It can curl up into a ring or expand to its full length. Snake segments also have randomized colors, contributing to a different look every play session.

Riding the wave of the AI revolution by creating a mulitlayered neural network in Scratch from scratch! The 2-2-1 network will eventually learn how to perform bitwise calculations. This video covers the running process.

Learning about costumes and a simple repeat loop. First, 4 different costumes of different color were made, and the sprite changed color every second. When a specific key was pressed, the color of the sprite changed as well.

Made a coin-clicking minigame similar to games like Cookie Clicker. You earn money by clicking on a large yellow coin, and the money per click increases with subsequent clicks! Great way to learn about variables. 

Covering how to make a 2D top down zombie shooter, from programming the player to move around and follow the mouse as well as coding the weapon that can shoot yellow streaks!

Finishing off the zombie shooter game by adding various improvements such as player health, better gun mechanics, multiple zombies, death screen, and player and zombie animations.

Exploring Scratch's pen extension features by creating a grappling hook that can shoot out and stick to walls, carrying the player along the rope. The pen mechanic helps draw the rope and make the grapple shoot out.

Making a simple pendulum that swings back and forth with the pen extension and some trigonometry. It simulates a real life pendulum, as the speed dampens or increases depending on the current pendulum position.

Wrapped up the turkey hunting game by coding the shooting mechanism, keeping track of the player's points/score. Also added other user interfaces such as text on the screen.

Making a laser maze puzzle game in Scratch. Players can drag a laser emitter, receiver, and walls onto a workspace. Then, they can solve their own puzzle using mirrors to direct the laser from the emitter to the receiver!

Building a neural network from the ground up in Scratch! Implemented the gradient descent algorithm and successfully trained the network on bitwise operators (OR, AND, XOR ...etc), all by just dragging blocks of code!
